Does anyine out there know of a Non-X11 GUI and programming interface for VGA under Unix (I have Esix Rev D). X/Windows is cute, but I just can't tolerate such cruddy performance. I don't need the client/server relation- ship that X does so well, and if I ever do, then I suppose I'll put up with X finally. In the meantime, I need something that can handle my graphics needs in a more timely manner. Alternatively, an image processing package and a decent draw program would do. Super-VGA is not a requirement (although it would be nice :-). Possible hardcopy devices that I'd like support for are Epson FX-80 and HP Deskjet PLUS (PCL Level 3). If you're using, or have heard of any such beast or have any suggestions at all on how to do image processing in a timely manner on a 386 Unix system, please let me know via e-mail, and I'll post a summary if there's interest. Thanks in advance. -- SMY -- Stephen M. Youndt / "Remember, no matter where you go, uunet!hacker!steve / there you are." -- B. Banzai
